Black Screen after BIOS update

Hi 

 

I tried updating my pc's BIOS through Live update on Dragon center, however during the system reboot after the update my went onto a black screen, 

I left it for around half an hour before trying to restart the system and it didnt work, i turned of the power supply and tried to start again to drain the system however there was no change,

I am unsure of what to do next.

 

Any help would be really appreciated :)

 

My Specs: 

Ryzen 3 3200g (stock cooler) 

MSI X570 A-PRO

8gb Corsair vengeance LPX DDR4 3000mHz 

Msi Geforce GTX 1660 gaming X 

EVGA 500w PSU 

 and incase its relevant: 

Sandisk 480gb ssd (Boot Drive)

250gb hdd 

480gb hdd

The BIOS update probably failed and now you are most likely sitting with a corrupt BIOS image. If your motherboard has a special USB port that supports BIOS Flashback, then you can use that feature to restore your BIOS.

Intel Core i7 6700K | AMD Radeon R9 390X | 16 GB RAM

Have you tried to follow this guide: 

 

The person in the guide removed his CPU, I am not sure that you have to do that but if it still does not work then you might need to try removing the CPU for the BIOS flashback to work.

it does that when theres an error with the bios theres probably nothing wrong with your cpu, it did it with mine but it does that because thats the first step when checking it goes cpu, dram vga then boot
